Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your request for information which we will handle under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

We may be in touch with you should we require any further clarification.
We will determine and let you know whether we hold the information you have requested and consider whether we are able to release the information or if it is exempt from disclosure.
ECC does not usually charge for providing information to its requestors as the provision of electronic copies is negligible, however under certain circumstances we may have to do so if providing the information costs more than £25. We will let you know before we do any work that would incur a charge.
